Plastic casing seems to be reasonably sturdy - Don't drop it on a rock though! I like a slim head lamp. Lamps which project out from the forehead tend to catch in stuff or pitch forward if you move your head about. This one projects out a little too much but this is understandable because of the depth of the reflector. Red LED is only as bright as an indicator LED, I never use this feature on a head lamp though. The swivel feature seems quite stiff. I didn't want to risk snapping the hinge tabs and discovered I could pull out the base of the forehead plate a little to ease adjustment. Maybe this is what you're supposed to do? Not much difference in light level between full power and low power. Less light on low power would save batteries. The screw which holds on the battery cover is detachable so it can get lost. The gasket in the battery cover is flush with the top of the groove in the cover. So it doesn't compress when the cover is screwed on and won't keep out water. The lamp is a little heavy and bulky and slides down your forehead if the head band isn't made tight, but gives out lots of light and this should be adequate for most applications. Get it! For the price it's good value. Read more

The actual lamp module adjusts such that you can point the lamp in a downward direction to do tasks closer to you or in front of you. This represents excellent value. The device also has a seal around the battery compartment. That ought to offer some water and dust resistance although no specific standard in water resistance or dust resistance has been specified. The plastic is cheap, and there is over mold visible on every seam. The hinge portion is actually very flimsy. Only time will tell if it holds up. The battery compartment is secured by a thumb screw. There is no retaining mechanism for this screw, therefore it can be easily lost. This does what it says reliably. Good value. Time and experience will establish its durability. Read more

Just works. what else for what price? it's white! always looks dirty - because of white cheap plastic.
it also not weather-resistant at all - same cause. there are three similar skus on dx, all 3 - more or less exact copies of some unknown to me brand. 12924 - better overall quality, from design...Just works. what else for what price? it's white! always looks dirty - because of white cheap plastic.
it also not weather-resistant at all - same cause. there are three similar skus on dx, all 3 - more or less exact copies of some unknown to me brand. 12924 - better overall quality, from components design to body plastic, but dollar higher and, worst, high-powered light-nothing red led instead of low-powered blinking one, which I find very usable - to find the lamp itself in the dark. It does not drain noticeable power - after 10 days of everynight use at least.
36096 - exactly same as this one, but black, so it looks much better after 1st day. But it's &quot;temporarily sold out&quot; - forever, I guess. by this for outdoor use, if 36096 is another 'always temporarily sold out' sku on dx, or at least give it a try. Read more

These are excellent, I've bought a bunch of them for the family. Bargain price, effective, throw good light, they've suffered being dragged through the bush, camping and children using them, and just keep on working. Good light, ideal for around camp, or when you need hands free light at home. to...These are excellent, I've bought a bunch of them for the family. Bargain price, effective, throw good light, they've suffered being dragged through the bush, camping and children using them, and just keep on working. Good light, ideal for around camp, or when you need hands free light at home. Band even expands to fit on a bike helmet. None. Three click system in these style of lights is always annoying - but mainly because I have no use for less than full power light, or the red LED - but it's manageable. Really good bit of gear. You need hands free light. Get one. Read more

Good value for your money. Reasonably bright light. Good for walking in pitch black, but maybe not for biking or extreme sports. Plastic feels allright. Lightbutton works fine. Probably not waterproof. Bought three and one was opened and had no batteries. The battery cap was scew and definitely 6...Good value for your money. Reasonably bright light. Good for walking in pitch black, but maybe not for biking or extreme sports. Plastic feels allright. Lightbutton works fine. Probably not waterproof. Bought three and one was opened and had no batteries. The battery cap was scew and definitely not waterproof. Will definitely order more for our 6 year olds birthday party. Perfect giveaway for the guests in february for adventures in the woods. Bought them for kids to play. Brightness a bit too much if children watch straight into light. Read more

The single greatest feature for me on this lamp is the switch. Cylindical models like sku997 or sku6163 have their on/off buttons in a place that it easily bumped while stuffed in a backpack - which means they often get turned on accidentally while packed away. Then the batteries are drained when...The single greatest feature for me on this lamp is the switch. Cylindical models like sku997 or sku6163 have their on/off buttons in a place that it easily bumped while stuffed in a backpack - which means they often get turned on accidentally while packed away. Then the batteries are drained when I want to use it. It's a huge nuisance to take the batteries out every time I put the lamp away. This one does not have that problem. There are two brightness settings but they differ so little that it doesn't matter. You can tell them apart when switching the lamp on aimed at a flat surface but when moving around and actually using the lamp I can't tell the difference. The light is reasonably bright, sufficient for walking around in pitch darkness, reading in bed, or supplementing ambient light when trying to tighten something leaking under the sink. It's not bright enough to be your only source of light if you're working with your hands but it's a good helper. The construction quality if pretty good - the plastic and elastic are reasonably good and don't feel flimsy or cheap. But the headband can slip out of the clips when pulled too hard, a problem with the design. Be careful putting it on or you may be rethreading the band before you can wear it. The blinking red LED is just useless. It doesn't really hurt anything other than one extra click of the button to turn the lamp off, but it doesn't do anything useful or attractive. This headlamp is a great deal for the price. I'd like it to be brighter and easier to wear but it's enormous value for what it costs. Recommended. Read more
